please teach the narrator how to speak....

Why do they allow her to mispronounce so many important words??? 🤔 Not to mention she makes everyone sound same and puts no real emotion behind it... Alotof sex again that I sadly skipped over because I'm over it. Richard is crying Anita is whiny and bitchy and I feel needs to get over herself sometimes. idk where her character is going but with the narrator n story line it's to whinyville

incomplete "Danse"

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. it was hooked as usual! But, I felt like the end happened to suddenly. without giving anything away, it seemed as though the author got distracted and couldn't finish her vision fully. with all that said, it's definitely still a great Anita Blake novel.

Where is Kimberly Alexis?

For the love of god, don’t make me listen to one of my fav series with such a DULL narrator. If I hear “weerwhatever” or “garlic” shrugs one more time 😩
Plus, at least TRY to do an accent, or really, please…don’t. I couldn’t stop laughing at her British “accent” lmaooooo. Excuse me ma’am, but, have you ever been to Australia? 😂

Story is fantastic- performance...not so much

I am a big Anita Blake fan and will go through the series when a new book is released. The Kimberly Alexis books are fantastic, but how you can have a different narrator and they mispronounce so much. It becomes difficult to listen to and almost unbearable. It is so distracting that I have considered skipping all books read by her. It might be a better experience to physically read these book rather than using audible for this narrator books.

Can't wait to get past these and back to Kimberly Alexis narrated books!

Love it hate it

I absolutely love this series! Anita plays while I am at work (headphones) and while I am sleeping. But for the life of me I could not get past Cynthia Holloway voice acting. :( serious let down after being so used to Kimberly. Audible or whom ever is in charge please redo this title with Kimberly, Jean-Claude is FRENCH where is his accent?

Not Kimberly Alexis

Ok, there were several times when I literally wanted to stop listening, but I have been waiting for the audio version of the missing books for forever and so I tried to ignore (not easy at all) the fact that the new girl is no where near as good as Kimberly. Jean Claude is French and there’s no accent or anything and I can’t tell if I liked it more or less how she makes Anita sound.. more girly? Anita always sounds like a hard ass, and she sounds way different in these audio. I’m honestly most upset about Jean Claude, I love the way Kimberly does his accent and everytime Cynthia did his voice, I was like “Come on, noooo!” The story itself was really good, but I couldn’t enjoy it as much with the new girl.

Absolutely terrible accents

The story is typical Anita Blake. lots of sex and metaphysics. But the reader has the worst accents. especially the English. totally distracting from the story how awful she is.

Bring back Kimberly Alexis.!!!

I feel that the books are lacking since Cynthia Holloway started narrating. Please bring back Kimberly Alexis and also the rest of the Anita Blake series. It only goes up to Harlequin
